Rahul Gandhi Takes Another U-Turn, Says He Stands By His RSS Remark

New Delhi: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that he has not done a U-turn in the Supreme Court on the RSS and said he stands by every single word he said that the person (Nathuram Godse) who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi was from the Sangh.

He had buttressed his stand by citing paragraphs from his affidavit filed in the Bombay High Court, while challenging the summons issued to him as an accused for his alleged defamatory statement in a 2015 election rally in Maharashtra.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the Congress vice president, had cited the affidavit filed before the High Court saying he had only accused certain people of RSS and not the organisation as the killer of Mahatma Gandhi.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Sidharth Nath Singh took on the Congress vice president on Twitter and said, “Don’t tell through tweets but give an affidavit to the Supreme Court.”
